OK Don, I rip on those Chicano walkout bozos from 1968 here http://www.fightbackinsac.com/forums...ead.php?t=2788

Read the whole thread, it's informative concerning brown racism, education differences between Mexicans and Mexican Americans and differences within those groups. It starts out slow, gets heavy into statistics, then evolves into truth concerning "la raza".

It's not a broad ancestry thing we face. Concerning the 1968 walkout it's about some brown American racists who tried to piggyback off the black civil rights movement and probably the ones now pushing to build some dubious "monument" to race (they need racial polarization and in reality they need you to help them achieve it) are bitter, racist, old geezers who were personally involved in the walk out - even though it didn't change anything but the racial composition of the LAUSD school board. Still roughly the same percentage "Latino" drop out rate in the LAUSD school district even with the now majority Latina board.

Not everyone is the same (so many different ways of thinking and personal experiences within the "race" you speak of), and I often think that you might be someone purposefully trying to bring discredit on SOS by your constant race laden comments.

There are a lot of problems not being truthfully addressed by "educators" concerning the lack of educational achievement by a significant portion of many different people who are termed "Latinos". However, I will tell you about a rarity of which brown racists would crow about while side stepping and hiding lots of truth.

I know an essentially harmless but dirtbag leaning Mexican national (I don't know why I like him but I do, I just haven't let him scam or bullshit me - my Elena despises him) who has spent most of the last thirty five years being illegal.

His wife is a really nice woman in spite of her relationship with the man (she now lives with her daughter), when they were together she was sort of lost in a really old fashioned Mexican definition of a marital relationship. His two sons (whom he has disowned) are 1) an ICE immigration agent in California 2) a cop in Illinois. His daughter has become a specialty surgeon who is married to a white attorney.

If anyone shouldn't have made it in America, it would be the American born children of that man, but they did.

The knuckleheads of the 1968 walkout can't claim the success of those three Americans, no matter how much bullshit they talk about the walk out or general raza crap they spout.

Let the race crap go, Don. As it is you are the Aztlanista's best arms length friend - you make their case for them.
